The Liars’ Asylum This book took two tries. On the first attempt I approached as the description on Goodreads said: a collection of love stories. I started reading it and quit. It did not take me at all. Then, I decided to give NetGalley its dues and read the book and started again. And the…

You can’t mend a broken cup – Book review for NetGalley – Just Another Week in Suburbia by Les Zig

Foxes ‘ r ‘ Us – Book review for NetGalley – Happiness by Aminatta Forna
Happiness This is one of the hardest reviews I ever had to write. It is hard not because the book is bad, quite the opposite. It is hard because I could not figure out what it was about. One day I thought it was about foxes and humans, how connected everything else in nature, how…

Saved by death – Book review for NetGalley – Jane Seymour: The Haunted Queen (#3 Six Tudor Queens) by Alison Weir
Jane Seymour: The Haunted Queen I’ve said it once and I will say it again and again: hindsight is a wonderful thing and a powerful tool to have and to hold. When you know what happens next you are reading the story with a certain detachment, wisdom and aloofness. You know who wins and who…
